Default riveting the aileron bottom skin

hi ,


I am riveting the aileron bottom skin of my RV8 . I'd like to use the back riveting method but the angle of the gun due to the top flange of the spar is disturbing ... I tried tu use a bucking bar on the shop head but it is not satisfying !! Any one would get an idea?

thanks for all

Default Squeeze It.

Is there a reason you don't want to use a rivet squeezer?

Default

the reason is that I can't physically use it in this particular case. Any picture to explain the way you would operate?

thanks
